LitWit Challenge: The Universe is a Library
We might argue that libraries are singularities—so many fictional and non-fictional lives, so many time periods converging on a single point. At the very least, they make excellent settings for stories.
The LitWit Challenge this month, should you choose to accept it, is to write a story of 500 words or more set in a library. Any library, actual or imaginary. It could be a mystery in which the heroine races against time to locate a vital piece of information that would save civilization. It could be a time-travel adventure in which library patrons can enter the worlds described in books. It could be a horror thriller in which library patrons are walled up in the stacks. It could be a romance in which an anonymous admirer leaves love letters spelled out by the spines of old books. It could be Anything.
Post your stories in Comments before Sunday, 20 April 2014. The winner will receive a toy Philippine Eagle and 8 Twisted books signed by the author.
